[edit] Lobotomy in popular culture

Lobotomy in popular culture (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

The trend with "in popular culture" topics, wittily captured by this former embedded list, is over the top and is now heading downhill.

Delete I would have said merge to the parent article, but it is virtually impossible with the amount of details, although some info can be transferred there.--JForget 00:35, 30 June 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete. Pure trivia, indiscriminate list, and even original research. Useight 00:47, 30 June 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete/Merge into the main article. Wikipedia is not the place to categorize mentions like this- Too Trivial Corpx 00:52, 30 June 2007 (UTC)
  • delete - as tasteless as it is pointless Kripto 01:01, 30 June 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete per Useight. None of this is notable. --Charlene 04:37, 30 June 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete This is just a list of loosely related terms, fails WP:NOT#DIR. Jay32183 20:10, 30 June 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete per nom & ample precedent. Carlossuarez46 22:52, 1 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Note: This debate has been included in the list of Popular culture-related deletions. -- John Vandenberg 14:32, 2 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete because Wikipedia is not a directory of loosely-associated topics. There are no independent, secondary sources providing significant coverage to assert this topic's notability, per notability standards. Just about all of these entries are not made famous as a result of a lobotomy mentioned, and is really just indiscriminate trivia of which editors could personally list examples endlessly. —Erik (talk • contrib) - 15:19, 2 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep Ur... durr... UFFH! UFFH! --Perceive 03:03, 3 July 2007 (UTC)
  • I dont think that's a valid explanation. Corpx 10:14, 3 July 2007 (UTC)
